The Next Great Sensation.

New York is soon to be treated to some
experiments in flying machines. A
company of sober and practical men
claim that they have solved the problem
of aerial locomotion, and they intend to
give exhibitions of their machine at the
American institute fair, now in session.
The flying machines speak Of are to
be propelled by electricity. What the
fabric is built Of, or what its plan of con.
struction is I do not know. Alb, if We
could but produce aluminium easily and
cheaply, that would settle the business at
once! This is perhaps the grandest "if"
that ballles science to-day. Here is
metal as strong as steel and light as
wood, and filling the world with its
abundance, and yet nobody can resolve.
it save at an expense which deprives it
of commercial usefulness. The largest
block of it in the world, I believe, is the
triangular cap which crowns the apex OF
the Washington monument.
I am told that there are more inventors
at work on this aluminium puzzle than on
almost any other. Every few weeks we
hear shout of Eureka !" but somehow
the metal remains as scarce and costly
as before. l could tell very pretty
romance of aluminium if I wished, but !
don't. But the greatest romance OF all
will be the actual discovery of the way
to get it out of its sulks into the service
of man. That done, and we shall soon
be flying through the air, and doing
about as we please with nature generally.

A Suggestion.

Mr.. EDITOR: AS taxpayer I may be
pardoned for saying have always taken
a lively interest in whatever affects the
welfare of our County. I am all advocate
of substantial Improvements. 1 believe
the true secret of economy in the conduct
of the County's affairs is found therein.
In the matter of the construction OF
costly bridges, for instance, believe the
streams wAere the principal currents Of
travel cross, these should be bridged first,
and as the County grows richer in reye-
nue., attention could be given to local
claims.
Without meaning to criticise our Coun-
ty Commissioners, or the communities di-
rectly concerned or benefited, may say
1 never favored the idea of locating the
iron bridge at Sloan's Ferry, which was
haplessly destroyed by the late freshet.
The adyisability of its reconstruction at
this time, when the County is forced to
such heavy expense to repair the damages
caused by the freshet, is matter OF seri-
Gus concern. Our Commissioners should,
it seems to me, rebuild only such bridges
as are indispensable; and the fact that the
bridge at Sloan's Ferry can be dispensed
with is an argument, in some sense,
against the wisdom Of its erection at that
point at the outset.
Iwould suggest that such portions oil
the bridge as were saved from the wreck
be placed under q shed, and rebuilt on
the substantial stone piers of Earle's
Bridge when the superstructure again
becomes unsafe, and the County would
then have bridge which would with.
stand the severest tests.

Our office was honored with visit last
Monday morning from our highly esteem
cd friend, Col. w. S. Pickens, of Brushy
Creek Township. Anderson County has
few such citizens as Col. Pickens. He has
been tiller of the soil all his life, having
gathered forty.three crops, during which
time he has made only thirteen bales OF
cotton. He has made small grain and
corn specially, and has never purchased
a pound of bacon. He produces almost
everything he consumes on his plantation,
and his success proves that his plan is the
correct one. While he is in comfortable
circumstances, had it not been for the
misfortunes of the war, he would to-day
have been one of our wealthiest citizens.
The Colonel is full of life and an intelli-
gent gentleman, and it is real pleasure
to listen to him talk.
Death has invaded another happy home
of Anderson County and removed there
from devoted wife and loving mother,
in the person of Mrs. Susan Norris, wife
of Col. ). w. Norris. Her death occurred
last Sunday morning at G o'clock, and
though not unexpected, it has brought
sorrow to wide circle of friends and ac-
quaintances. Mrs. Norris had been in
feeble health for some time past, and for
the last few weeks was a great sufferer,
but she bore her sufferings with that pa
tieuce characteristic of true Christian
woman, and when the summons came she
was prepared to meet it. She was truly
good woman, and was held in high es-
teem by her many friends, who will long
cherish her memory. She was about 62
years of age, and had been for years
faithful and consistent member of the
Presbyterian Church. Her remains were
inferred in the graveyard at Roberts
Church on Wednesday, the funeral servi-
ces being conducted by Rev. D. E. Frier

= Smokers will be interested to know
that not thousand miles from Albany
there is a firm which makes large quaint.
ties of paper for smoking purposes.
The plan of operation is said to be this:
The paper, on reaching the tobacco ware
house, is repeatedly soaked in o strong
decoction ofthe plant. 1t is then cut up
and pressed in moulds which give to each
sheet the venation of the genuine leaf
tobacco. So close is the imitation that
expert tobacco men and habitual smokers
have been deceived. at a recent gather.
ing in this city cigars made from this
paper tobacco were passed around and de.
clared excellent. Many of those present
declared the cigars were made from rare
brands, and so well wos the imitation
carried out that one man actually insisted
that there could be no mistake about the
cigars being genuine tobacco.-Al6any

An attempt was made last Thursday
night near Yorkville to wreck the north
bound passenger train on the Chester &

fastened across the track near the point
where the train goes on high trestle.
The engine, fortunately, Knocked the
obstruction off without sustaining any
damage.

Cherokee Items.

In our former communication we neg.
lected to say anything in regard to our
section. We are in fine farming coun-
try, between East and West Cherokee
Creeks.
The friends of Mr.. Green Taylor, who
has been quite ill for several weeks with
pneumonia, will be glad to know he is
improving:
Mr., w. j. King carried 1900 pounds of
seed cotton to Mr.. J. P. Haynie's gin, and
it yielded him 500 pounds of lint. 1t was
of the Peterkin variety. 1t would pay us
all, brother farmers, to plant the Peterkin
seed.
If rumor is correct, our Noal's Creek
correspondent will soon lose one of bis
best young ladies.
1t is pleasure to ride over that section
of the public road leading from Belton to
Storeyille, which is under the manage
ment of Mr.. Newt. Willingham. He
works it strictly according to law, and is
the right man in the right place. We

We notice that Brother Sims, of the
Orangeburg Times and Democrat, assisted
by the noble and patriotic ladies of his
town, is using every effort to erect a
monument to the memory of the Confed-

that his efforts are about to be crowned
with success, a good sum having already
been secured for the purpose. It is a
grand, noble undertaking, and is worthy
of imitation by every County in the State.

to the memory of her sons who died for

The Greenville Enterprise and Mountain
eer, of last week, says: "Dr. R. Furman
Diver, of Anderson, will establish a
new machine shop in this city about the
first of the coming year. DR.. Diver is q
former citizen of Greenville, having left
here some fifteen or sixteen years ago.
He has the reputation of being an expe-
rienced machinist, and was Superinten-
dent of the workshops of the Greenville
aud Columbia Railroad at Helena, during
the presidency of Col. 81. P. Hammett.
We will welcome his return to our midst" :"
We asked the Doctor if the above state.
ment was correct, and he replied that he
was thinking over the matter, but had
not fully made up his mind. We would
regret to see the Doctor leave Anderson.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Rufus FAINT re-

night they discovered upon entering the
house that a burglar had been inside du-
ring their absence. Mr.. FAINT, upon leav-
ing home, had extinguished the lamp and
sat it upon table near the door. When
he returned, the chimney was standing on
the table, but the lamp was turned over
on the floor and the oil running out. An
investigation of the house and premises
was at once made, but nothing was missed
therefrom. A brick bat was found upon
the floor, and dish pan, which had been
left in tho dining. room, was found in the
yard. The thief, it is supposed, entered
the house through window, as box had
been pulled out from under the house im
mediately under the window. The burg
lar was evidently frightened away by
some one passing along the street, and
did not have time to secure any booty.
